Drop Everything—the Celeb- and Editor-Obsessed Lyma Laser Is Currently $670+ Off
Hands down, the most common questions I receive as a beauty editor have to do with skincare tools. Which gadgets are actually worth the money? What's the difference between two equally buzzy brands? Is there a tool that I personally swear by? The answer to that last one is an immediate yes, and if you know me (or took a quick glance at this headline), you already know what I'm going to recommend: the Lyma Laser, a handheld cold-laser device that claims to have 100 times the power of standard LED. I've used it every single night for the past seven months (give or take a few days off, but I swear I've been consistent!), and my skin has never looked more radiant, clear, or buttery-smooth.
The only downside? The Lyma Laser will set you back a cool $2695—a hefty investment, but one that I wouldn't encourage if it didn't actually procure results. I'm of the belief that high-quality skincare routine doesn't have to rely on fancy formulas (my own regimen is chock-full of drugstore heroes that work just as well as, if not better than, luxury products), but if you are going to drop coin on a certain item, tools are rather strong assets—mainly because you don't have to repurchase them every few months like a serum or cream. Still, I don't make these recommendations lightly, so when I do tout the powers of a spendy device, you can trust that it really is that good. I wouldn't use it myself if it wasn't.
In case you need another reason to bite, I just received word that the brand is offering a huge discount on the celebrity- and editor-obsessed tool for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Starting today (because why not jump on BFCM shopping early?), you can save over $670 with your Lyma Laser purchase.
What Is the Lyma Laser Again, and How Does It Work?
You might read the word "laser" and immediately think of the redness, burning, and peeling associated with Fraxel, IPL, or other in-office treatments, but rest assured the Lyma Laser has absolutely no discomfort or downtime. In fact, you don't feel a thing as you glide it across your skin. That's because the Lyma is a cold laser that relies on low-level, near-infrared light to stimulate collagen and cell renewal deep within the skin—all the way down to the muscle tissue that sits behind it. That technology has the ability to trigger a genetic switch inside each skin cell that encourages it to create collagen and elastin at a faster rate.
The result? A plumper, firmer, more resilient complexion—that is, assuming you use the tool consistently. I repeat: You have to use the Lyma Laser every single day in order to reap the benefits. The first three months are really critical. Then you can technically go into maintenance mode and use it two to three times per week.
The Lyma Laser Pro does procure those results faster, as it has a bigger treatment lens (it's essentially three Lyma Lasers in one!), but it does come with a steeper price. That said, I personally have the Pro and cannot say enough good things about it. (Sabrina Carpenter and Martha Stewart have it too, FYI!) The Pro sadly isn't part of the BFCM discount, but I'd still call it a solid investment for those looking for some extra skin tightening.
Why Beauty Editors, Facialists, and Celebrities Are Obsessed
As discussed, I personally own and love my Lyma Pro. I've never received more "Your skin is glowing!" compliments as the weather turns crisper (a feat for those with dehydrated, easily irritated complexions like mine), which I'm fully chalking up to my nightly Lyma sessions. People have even asked me if I've had Botox since my forehead is so smooth and radiant. My answer? Nope, just Lyma! It's also the only skincare tool I used regularly leading up to my wedding; if you have an important event coming up, I highly recommend using it for at least three months beforehand—such a game changer.
